Since the only way to find out if a line is written in a trimeter, or pentameter, etc. is to count the number of syllables, and then divide that number by two to get the meter, that is exactly what we are going to do here.
This line has 8 syllables: (a tree whose hung- ry mouth is prest), we should divide it by 2, which equals 4.
So, the correct answer is that this line is an example of iambic tetrameter. Tetra means 4.
an act of speaking one's thoughts aloud when by oneself or regardless of any hearers, especially by a character in a play

Personification is the representation of things in human qualities or nature in abstract terms.
In the above lines from the poem "The Anecdote of the Jar" by Wallace Stevens the jar has been personified as a symbol of technology and humanity and Tennessee is a symbol of nature and wilderness. The poem is about the struggles and hardships which a human undergoes to overcome the wilderness. The human-made creation like jar restricts the intensity of the wilderness as humans control nature.
The entire poem uses an extended poem by implying the comparison between seemingly unlike things. In this metaphor, the captain is Lincoln, the voyage is the war and the ship represents the US
